animation Deconstruction

While both pictures utilize almost the exact same hues, the values of all of the colors are different. The first picture has fairly low values, making very bright pinks and yellows. The first picture is much brighter. The first image uses lower saturation for everything but Homer. This makes his yellow skin stand out from the rest of the frame. The second picture uses very similar saturation all across the frame. This leaves only line and shape to make the gun stand out at you.

Matt Groening uses very little shadow in either of these shots. He does however have different lighting in the two shots. The first shot seems to have light fill the whole room, with somewhat of an emphasis on Homer. The second shot seems to be dimly lit. In the first image, one could draw that Homer is a slob, from his beer belly to his underwear, to a crooked painting above him. Because the second photo is dark, and the violent nature of it, one  could draw that Homer is in some sort of horror role. The second ones dimness gives the viewer an uneasy feeling.
